When we built our house over five years ago, what was supposed to be the most fun ended up being the biggest chore: paint colours and decorating. We ended up in a mad rush to get into the house which took away the time and deliberation needed for decor. I was never unhappy withour colour choices but some of the finishing touches either never happened or weren't too my ultimate liking.

Our master bedroom was one room that was never quite finished. I'd get started on it and...a year would pass. I'd change things, or try to, and another year would pass. Finally this winter I started and finished! It began with the headboard, then the barn-board picture holders and then kept going. I love it! The pictures begin to the left of coming in the door and go clockwise.

My Pintrist inspired picture display frames of sorts.

I resurrected an old print of the mouttains of Canmore that we'd had framed, years ago, in barn board. It fits in perfectly!

This quilted beadspread was my Oma's. It was handmade by a friend of hers and adorned her bed for years. The stitching is a soft orange which helps tie in the oak furniture and my reason for orange accents.

How to introduce myself in a few words....well, my names is Carla. I am married to Trevor, and he's pretty awesome. I have two kids, Sierra (b. 2007) and Sawyer (b. 2010), they're pretty awesome too I live in a small town in Southern Alberta. I work outside the home part-time and inside the home full time. I have an obsession with painted nails, eyeglasses, and matching outfits.I'm a coffee and wine snob (no home brew or Folgers please!)I am also focused on exercise and being healthy and enjoying it. (no crazy 'diets' for me)Awhile back I realized that I have not been living as the genuine me. I had begun to act like someone else, someone I thought people wanted to me to be. That disturbed me. I vowed to rediscover me. The real me. This space is ME being honest and expressing myself about my day to day life with day to day ups and downs.
